  • Inspiring, Genuine, and Passionate

    Elyse came into my life through her previous podcast a little over a year ago, and I can truly say she has a deep, genuine care for those who seek her out—whether for guidance, wisdom, or simply to navigate the beautiful path of spirituality. She is not only an incredibly kind and thoughtful person, but also a gifted tarot reader and teacher. When I listened to the first few episodes of her new podcast, I wasn’t surprised to find that all of these qualities shone through. Her passion for her cra... more

S3E6 - The Call of Sacred Lands: Sardinia, Cyprus & Personal Gnosis with Katie Ness
Q: How was Sardinia and what stood out about the site you visited there?
Katie describes Sardinia as a home-like place saturated with sacred feminine energy, featuring ancient Nuragic sites near the coast where priestesses are depicted in brass figurines. She emphasizes the site Santa Cristina Well as a powerful, womb-like space connected to water and cosmic mirrors, and notes the scarcity of western tourist crowds, which keeps the place intimate and potent for spiritual practice. She also reflects on the sense that Sardinia, like Malta, holds advanced spiritual energy that rewards patient, respectful exploration.
S3E6 - The Call of Sacred Lands: Sardinia, Cyprus & Personal Gnosis with Katie Ness
Q: Tell me about Cyprus.
Katie shares how Cyprus feels like a threshold place, rich with Aphrodite's history and a sacred landscape that invites deeper exploration of myth, archaeology, and living practice. She notes personal pull to the island, connections to Cypriot priestesses and archaeologists, and the sense that Cyprus acts as a bridge between cultures and spiritual paths. The discussion also touches on places like Paphos and Aphrodite's Baths as focal points for modern pilgrimage, with an emphasis on listening to the land and engaging with it respectfully.
S2E9 - Egypt and the Golden Age of Humans and Land with Fotoula Foteini Adrimi
Q: What is the role of the land and sacred sites in your practice today?
The land serves as a grounding, amplifying force that helps the energy flow by quieting the ego, enabling deeper contact with the cosmos and the divine, and guiding personal transformation through sacred ceremonies at temples like Luxor and Karnak.
S2E9 - Egypt and the Golden Age of Humans and Land with Fotoula Foteini Adrimi
Q: How do you understand Heka, and how is it given to initiates through Isis?
Heka is the power of creation that flows from the unmanifested energy through Isis to initiates, accessible to the degree the soul has evolved, and must be aligned with divine order rather than ego for meaningful manifestation.
S2E9 - Egypt and the Golden Age of Humans and Land with Fotoula Foteini Adrimi
Q: Tell our listeners about Zeptepe and why you call it the golden time.
Zeptepe is the ancient term for the first time when humans lived with godlike awareness, had self-healing abilities, could hear and communicate telepathically, and maintained a deep unity with land and stars; it represents a lost era of radiant spiritual power that contemporary seekers can aspire to rediscover.
